Nursing Overseas Opportunities

Gain practical nursing experience as an intern in disadvantaged communities.

A nursing placement with Projects Abroad is a great opportunity to gain first-hand experience of nursing practice in a different country. At the same time, you’ll also learn about global healthcare issues.

We offer international nursing placements in several developing countries around the world. You can complete your internship in a hospital, health clinic, or care centre. During your time abroad with us, you’ll learn from skilled local nurses and shadow them as they go about their day. If you have a particular area of interest, we’ll do our best to accomodate you.

This internship will provide you with international nursing experience, invaluable for your future career in the field. As an added bonus, it will help boost your CV and supplement future job or study applications.

Is a Nursing placement abroad right for me?

We have nursing internships available to suit all skill levels. Are you considering a career in the nursing field? These placements will give you greater insight into the profession and boost your study applications and CV.

Currently studying towards your nursing qualification? Joining us on an internship will provide you with first-hand experience and enhance your learning progress. We also offer Nursing Electives for those who need to complete an elective module.

Recently qualified? Our overseas nursing opportunities are a great way to broaden your horizons and put your skills to good use in disadvantaged local communities.

Projects Abroad provide you with 24/7 support while you gain international nursing experience, develop your skill set, and learn more about global healthcare issues. As many of our interns don’t have previous experience in their chosen field, you can start at a level you’re comfortable with. Many of our nursing placements also include a community outreach component, so that you can help others while you’re abroad.

It’s an opportunity for both personal and professional growth as you have a memorable learning experience abroad.

Why does this internship matter?

This experience will bring you closer to a future working in your chosen field. We’re proud to support future talent who will bring vital skills to communities in need.

How are Projects Abroad’s international Nursing placements different?

At Projects Abroad, our first aim is to benefit the communities we work in. You can be assured that your internship is ethical, well supported, and part of a better future. Here’s just a few elements of our work that set it apart from other internship programmes:

Recording our work in a secure database

We created a Global Impact Database so we can track the positive impact our projects have. This is a secure and anonymous database that we use to identify specific areas of need. It allows us to use data to shape medical outreaches and health awareness programmes. We can also monitor individuals we see often, report our results and collect data for research. All of this work is guided by our Management Plans.

Real work with trained professionals

On our internships, you’ll work alongside real healthcare professionals. You can observe them in their everyday work, ask questions and hear more about their experiences. You’re likely to get more insights into the frontline of medical care than in your home country.

A tailored approach

We are often able to tailor your internship to your interests. You can work in more than one department or focus on one particular area, or experience outreach work in the local community.

Our Medicine & Healthcare policy

We take the safety of our volunteers, interns, and the people they work with very seriously. That’s why we’ve put in place a comprehensive Medical Ethics Policy.
